#2 In the Future, Your Seatbelt Could Be Tailored to Your Body

Megan Garber, a staff writer at The Atlantic wrote about the cars in the future and she believes that there will not have a major change on its appearance but instead, on the safety and responsibility to their drivers. Chris Hostetter, Toyota`s vice president of strategic planning, believes that the cars will be automated rather than autonomous and there will be more changes in the past 10 years than in the last 100 years. According to him, the seat belts have been through evolution because many marginal improvements were done since 1959, when they were first introduced in Volvos.  In the future, he considers the possibility of having customized seat belts according to the driver`s height and weight mark on the car`s seat.

Garber used simple vocabularies to achieve her purpose which is to inform the people about the improvements of the seat belts in the future. She not only consulted Chris Hostetter, Toyota`s vice president of strategic planning, but also used many examples to enrich her article. Garber started her article by giving example of cars in the future in order to attract reader`s attention. Her thesis was very clear because it points out that the main subject of the article which is the advances in the safety of the cars in the future. Overall, she used simple and easy language to inform the readers about the new designed seat belts to assure the safety of the driver.
